My son Billy (9 years old) and I have gone to Base Station a number of times over the past summer, and while my son would be the best person to rate the actual Virtual Reality experience, as he is the one who uses the simulators, I can attest to the pleasure of working with the owner, Nidal, who goes above and beyond to ensure Billy has a fun time. Nidal is patient, sweet, bright, and obviously cares about offering the best experience to his customers! Oh, and he is a cutie, to boot! If all business owners were as conscientious as Nidal, it would be a better world!read more

This was mine as well as my son's first time going to the Base Station VR Lounge in Providence. We are from Virginia and we are up visiting family.
My son really wanted to go to an arcade while we were up here. I Googled arcades around here and saw the Base Station VR Lounge and we decided to give it a try and I am glad we did.
It truly was an experience of a life time. I was worried that I would get motion sickness because I have heard it can happen with VR. But I had no issues. I played a multi player game with my son a few times and it was amazing. We both enjoyed it. The next 30 minutes we both played solo games. I played John Wick and it is amazing how real everything seemed.
All in all, this place is amazing. It is a little expensive but for the money, I believe it is well worth it. I'm looking forward to visiting here again on our next visit to Rhode Island.read more

Super fun, My son loved it and has been talking about it since we left. I did the spiderman VR experience and it was great. My sweetie did the google earth VR and was soaring above & into the Grand Canyon. It was great fun, we will definitely return. If they sold booze we would stay forever.read more

The host was impatient at times and made several demeaning remarks, that he thought were "jokes". It took me pointing out that my son was autistic that he reset and was appropriate the rest of our time there.
Before making a reservation, have them explain to you the games, most of the games are war, gun related, Zombie take over type things.
The job simulator game was a hit, as well as fruit ninja.
The bathroom was crammed and there's only one.
Would make a good birthday gift for one kid, but definitely not suitable for a group larger then 4.read more

This place is amazing. Great for both adults and kids. Had a surprise adult birthday party for my boyfriend and his buddies. All of us were very VR inexperienced but that was ok. The owner was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and patient with our group. He even took pictures! We had a blast and want to come back soon. Very reasonably priced and great location. Can’t say enough nice things!

I had a great time here. I am what some people consider a "noob" when it comes to Virtual Reality, but the games that I played, (Job Simulator and Skyfront), were very easy to learn and I recommend them to anyone coming here. The staff were nice, and I'll definitely be back here soon.

The kids had a great time (9yo and 14yo); they picked the concepts up quickly. Staff was great (this helped the learning curve) and was of great assistance picking an ‘experience’. We found that an hour was a sufficient amount as well, and we would definitely return when/if in the area again.

I thought it was a lot of fun. The owner was a good guy and was very helpful. Some of the games had controls that took time getting used to so you waste part of the time just trying to figure things out. At $39/hr, you don't want to waste time. I liked the sailing VR and got lost in that quite a while. I used to sail Lasers and the experience is similar. It would have been more fun if you were actually competing in a race though. All in all, I would recommend it. I'm sure the next time I go, it will be easier as there is definitely a learning curve. But then again, I'm old.

Base Station VR is amazing. I went in today and tried out 2 of the games and my mind was blown. It was my first time trying VR and I'm hooked.
